If you have suffered a head injury, are bleeding profusely, have vomited, difficulty breathing or have been unconscious – please seek urgent medical advice
Injuries to the face and teeth can cause particular alarm and be extremely distressing. We always advice you see a dental or medical professional in such an event.
Injuries to the teeth can be very complicated and management will depend on a host of factors such as type of injury, time lapsed and patient factors amongst a host of other things
Please seek urgent medical care if you have any of the following:
Unable to open or close your mouth
If your teeth do not meet in the same way they used to before the incident
Large wounds
Self-help advice
Gently rinse out with salt water, if you feel safe to do, to be able to assess/visualise any damage
If it is bleeding, apply a damp gauze/handkerchief to the area for 20 minutes and remain still
If an adult tooth has fallen out completely, and you feel confident to do so, grab the tooth from the crown (the white part, not the brown root), rinse under water and place tooth back in its socket
If unable to replace, place the tooth in a cup with milk or saliva until you can see an emergency dentist
Please note- baby teeth are NOT to be placed back in the socket
Chipped or broken teeth – if causing pain then take simple painkillers such as paracetamol/ibuprofen (provided you are not allergic, follow the instructions and do not exceed maximum dosage)
Most small cuts to lips or cheeks will often heal on their own
Professional Treatment Available (following detailed history and examination)
Help stemming the bleeding via sutures or clotting agents
If teeth have moved – help repositioning and splinting teeth if appropriate
If teeth have fallen out – help reinserting and splinting if appropriate
Repairing broken teeth or dressing them for comfort
Initiating root canal treatment if deemed necessary
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be registered?
No. You don’t need to be registered with us as a patient for one of our caring dental teams to look after you.
If you are registered with a dentist you will receive follow up treatment (if required) by them.
If you don’t have a dentist you can choose to remain a patient at our practice and we would love to be able to look after you moving forward!
When can I be seen?
We always guarantee same day emergency appointments. We are quite busy but will always move heaven and earth to ensure you are seen the same day.
Provided there is no medical contraindications, it is in your best interest and you are happy to proceed we always provide emergency treatment during your visit with us.
You will then be triaged and offered the earliest and most convenient appointment for you.
The dentist will see you, carry out an assessment, x-rays if needed and then explain in plain language the issue and your treatment options.
Emergency treatment is provided in the same visit provided there are no medical contraindications, it is in your best interest and you are happy to proceed.
How much does it cost to be seen?
The assessment fee is £49 and covers your consultation and any x-rays you require.
The treatment fees will vary depending on the emergency. We see patients for everything from broken dentures, toothache to dental trauma.
Fees depend on the issue and the treatment option you choose.
You are not liable for anything further to the £49 assessment until the dentist gives you an exact treatment fee.
I haven’t been to the dentist for years?!
That is not an issue for us and we see many patients who have not attended a dentist for many years.
We treat all patients with care, respect and dignity.
I’m EXTREMELY nervous?!
We totally understand that. It doesn’t help when you are anxious with toothache then attending a clinic you may have never attended previously.
We feel we have the most caring dental team who are specially trained in anxious patients.
Have a look at our reviews below and we hope that sentiment comes across.
What pain killers can I try?
Only take painkillers that you know you are not allergic to. Always read the label.
We would always advise consulting a qualified medical professional such as a doctor or pharmacist before taking painkillers.
Are you NHS or Private?
Unfortunately we do not have an NHS contract and are thus a wholly private practice.
For NHS dental emergencies in the greater Manchester area, please call the Community Urgent Dental Care Service on Freephone 0333 3323 800.
